Strengths
- “Crumpsall Lane is a friendly school where pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are encouraged to succeed.”
- “Pupils are happy learning and playing together with their friends.”
- “Pupils who join the school other than at the usual times, including those from other countries, are warmly welcomed.”
To improve
- “In one or two other subjects, the curriculum guidance provided for teachers lacks clarity.”
- “The expectations of how different parts of the curriculums should integrate are not clear.”
- “As a result, pupils lack sufficient opportunities to practise and apply their basic skills, particularly in terms of their written communication, and to expand their understanding of more difficult words.”
